A friend of ton stated that the accused ha .d waited till put. elve o'clock, and the matter not having been called on he was obliged to go away on - important business. Sir Peter Laurie having read the letter, said that it was probable the business could be settled without Mr. Shipten.—(A laugh.) Mr. Scatchard said that Mr. Shiptort was one of those who happened to be excluded from the list of officers who were considered entitled to remuneration, in consequence of which the gentleman bad thought proper to write a letter to him, calling for what is termed in affairs of honour ” the alternative. He thought it extremely unfair, after his ex ertions for the benefit of the claimants, to set him up as a target to be shot at. Sir PETER—Why don't you make a vow not to fight ? and then, when any body who smells of powder approaches you, you can say—" Fight I No one but a coward would ask me to fight, for I have sworn against giving battle."— (Laughter.) After some further conversation, Sir PETER LAURIE advised the complainant not to take any notice of the business. t✓'T NOTICE.

A public meeting of the inhabitants of the town and neigh bourhood was held on Monday, at the Town-hall, for the pur pose of taking into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament to place that town upon the same footing with the Corporations included in the recent Municipal Reform Bill. The proceedings of the meeting were commenced by Mr. Byles proposing that the Rev. Mr. King, the Rector, do take the chair, which the Rev.

WIIEAT. — The highest price of Wheat of the best quality in Paris is 24 francs per half hectolitre, which corresponds with 365. Bd. per English quarter. The highest price in London is 48s. per quarter for the best Essex and Kent Wheat, show ing a difference of 11s. 4d. per quarter, or 29i per c en t. ; an d the 485., which is the price of but eight bushels of Wheat in London, will in Paris purchase ten and a half bushels of the best quality. FLOUR —The highest price of Flour of the first mark in Paris is 46 francs per 159 kilogrammes, which is equal to 295. per English sack of 280 pounds. The highest price of the best London made Flour in London, is 38s. per sack, showing a difference of 9s. per sack, or nearly 24 per cent. ; and the 38s. which in London buys but 280 pounds of Flour, is in Paris the price of 367 pounds of the best quality. MEETINGS OF CREDITORS TO-MORROW. S. B. Hemmer, merchant, Ely-place 1 at 1 I MS. Schlesinger, merchant, Stcand 1 12 W. Pound, carriage-lamp-manufacturer, Long-acre 1 12 STATE OF TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury.) THE LEEDS TRADE.—The Markets continue very brisk at both Halls for goods of low qualities, on which there is in con sequence a little advance in price ; in finer goods, there conti nues a fair average demand, but without any material altera tion. On the whole, business is unusually brisk for the season, and should wool remain steady, there is a fair prospect of a good demand during the spring. There has also been a greater number of the London buyers in the market than usual at this season, and the stocks in the warehouses are low com pared with their condition generally at this period of the year. HUDDERSFIED MARKET, FEB. 2.—There has been a good business doing to-day in low-priced plain cloths : fancy goods were also much in demand. BRADFORD MARKET, FEB. 4.—There is no falling off in the activity which has prevailed in the piece market for some time past. TRADE OF BARNSLEY.--The trade of this town continues uncommonly brisk. PRICE OF IRON.—We hear that the price of iron was raised 21. per ton at the Low Moor and Bowling Iron Works, on Monday last. LEAD. —British pig lead at this moment bears the high prie of twenty guineas a ton, being an advance of nearly 100 per cent. upon that article within the space of twelve months, and with the prospect of the price increasing. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—This market was dull again, though there were many buyers in the market who of fered to purchase freely at old prices. MANCHESTER MARKET.—There has been but little altera tion in the goods' market this week ; yarns are a shade higher. CORN AND CURRENCY.—A correspondent of the Suffolk Chronicle states the not-before published fact that at the recent Framlingliam agricultural dinner, a proposition was made, that the upholders of the " Corn and Currrency " ques tion should sign a declaration, in the shape known by the name of a " round robin," that they would no longer pay Bent to Landlord s , w h o did not concur with the m , th en an d there pre sent, in the v i ew they took of the beari ngs o f th a t question. On Monday last, a meeting of the Ipswich Branch of the E ast S u ff o lk S oc i e t y f or t h e P rotect i on o f Agricul ture was held to receive the petitions to both Houses of Par liament, adopted at a meeting held at Framlington, o n Tues day se'nnight. On the proposal of Mr. FLETCHER, Mr. BYLES took the chair, and in stating the object of their assembling on that occasion, said that he altogether disclaimed party motives, and had come forward as an inhabitant and rate payer to demand a system of justice, conceiving they had not been fairly dealt with by the Legislature, in being excluded from the benefits resulting from the passing of the measure of Municipal Reform. The Chairman then intimated his desire to hear any observations from his fellow townsmen. Mr. SHELTON, in addressing the meeting, stated, that he was about to propose the first resolution, but in so doing he wished it to be understood he was not hostile to the old Cor poration, but he considered every man who was a contributor to the rates should have access to the accounts ; he, therefore, came forward to petition for equal rights and privileges, and to express his desire to participate equally with other towns in the benefits of Municipal Reform, he would, therefore, propose— " That it is the opinion of this meeting that every inha bitant of a town should enjoy equal privileges and advantages in the prosecution of trade and in the government of that town. That every man should be considered to possess equal rights as a citizen under the Government to which he is a subject, and that justice is the cement of nations and communities." Mr. HEARNE seconded the resolution. The. CHAIRMAN then read the resolution, and put it to the meeting, and it was declared to be carried. Mr. FLETCHER, in rising to propose the'second resolution,_ stated that they were met to e xe rc i se th e i r r i g ht s as B r iti s h subjects—that of petitioning for the removal of a grievance, and he would propose that - the following resolution be adopted. " That this Meeting, considering the advantages likely to result to the town at large from the election of its own Mimi cipal officers, are of opinion that petitions to both Houses of Parliament, recognizing this principle, with an earnest request that this town may be placed upon the same footing with the Corporations included iii the late Municipal Reform, be pre sented upon the first meeting of Parliament." This resolution was seconded by Mr. Goff. The CHAIRMAN having put this resolution, and considerable doubt arising as to the shew of hands, Mr. SAMUEL COOPER came forward, and requested that the resolution should be again put, and stated his wish to have the bill convening the meeting read, or to be informed who were the party in the hall considered as eligible to vote on the ques tion, as he saw many in the room who were absolutely paupers who had held their hands up in support of the last resolution ; for his own part, he should conceive that no individual could claim a right who was not a rate-payer, and he would contend against such voting being the opinions of the meeting. Mr. WALTER COOPER fully concurred in what had fallen from his brother, and begged to °all on the Chairman, for the satisfaction of the meeting, to know whether any indivi dual —who was not a rate payer—had thus a right to record his vote. The CHAIRMAN stated that the bill issued for calling the meeting invited " the inhabitants of the town and neighbour hood," and no mention of rate-payers was at all made. The show of,hands was then again taken on the 2nd resolu tion, and declared by the Chairman to be carried in favour o( it by a majority of six. He then called on Mr. J. B. Byles to read the petition. Mr. W. COOPER objected to the reading the petition, inas much as he -still doubted the majority claimed by the Chair man, and contended that on a matter of such moment concern ing the town, the rate-payers were the only persons eligible to act. Mr. JONES and Mr. SIIELTON contended that it was irregu lar for the Messrs. Cooper to doubt the veracity of the Chair man, who had taken every means to ascertain accurately the show of hands, and called on the Chairman to record the adop tion of the resolution. Mr. S. COOPER observed that it was not his intention, on entering the room, to have taken any part in the proceedings of the meeting, but he felt assured, with all due respect for the Chairman, that the majority was on the side opposed to the adoption f the second resolution; the hasty survey of the Chairman he knew did not accurately ascertain the voting on the resolution ; the duty of the Chairman on this occasion he took to - be that of using every means to obtain the true sense of the rate-payers. Mr. W.-COOPER, addressing the Chairman, stated his re- collection of a meeting which had taken place in that hall on a former occasion on a particular question, when Mr. Barker filled the Chair, and at which time he deemed it necessary to divide—he should now propose that the meeting divide on the present question. The CHAIRMAN declared himself opposed to this course, and said it was out of order thus to interrupt the proceedings of the meeting; he had twice taken the show of hands, and if de sired he would again do so, but he must say he considered that the resolution was adopted. Many individuals having concurred with the Chairman in his view of the question, and opposed the division, Mr. W. COOPER requested those who opposed the adoption of the resolution to step forward, when a portion of the audi ence stepped forward, and occupied the open space in front of the Chairman—who, considering the opposition he had met with, and the utter impossibility of proceeding with such in terruption, proposed the adjournment of the meeting to Mon day, the 15th of February, and the meeting broke up.

PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 6.--Thefollowing is an extract of a letter from an officer of the British Legian in Spain, dated Oriete, Jan. 16:— . _ 44 We are now driving the enemy before us from village to village with little or no loss. This is the sixth village we have occupied since we left Vittoria, which was on the 3d inst. The enemy annoy us very much at night • they come down in numbers, and fire upon our fi r es, b u t seldom do any harm. All our fires must be out before dark. I will relate a circumstance which I think will amuse you :—One evening, whilst the men were sitting round the fire cooking their din ners, a volley was fired amongst them, and strange to say, not a man was hurt, but a shot went through the cooking-kettle and spilled all the soup, which was the only loss sustained. We are, now within six miles of Salvatierra, which we are to attack in two or three days' time ; our men appear all ripe, and anxious for the blow. The enemy are in great force. The French (3,000) came in on the 13th inst. I have not seen them, but understand they are a fine body of men." His Majesty's surveying vessel, Mastiff, Lieut. Thomas Graves commanding, arrived here on Tuesday, from the Me diterranean., She left Malta on th e 31 s t D ec . Th e B eacon was to follow in about a fortnight. The Vestal, 26, Captain Jones, arrived on Monday from Sheerness, and sailed to-day t o the West Indies, with super numerary marines and boys for the fleet. This ship has 21,0001. on board for the West Indies. The Victor, 18, arrived at Calcutta from Madras on the 14th of September. The Hyacinth, 18, left Sydney for Ma dras on the 6th of August. The Leveret, 10, Lieutenant Bosanquet, arrived at Sierra. Leone on the 2d of December, from the River Gambia. Dur ing, her passage she captured two vessels fitted for slaves, Laving oh board 3,000 doubloons. The Leveret and her prizes were about to proceed to the Cape. The Strathfieldsay, convict ship, in charge of Mr. Wilson, surgeon, R. N., arrived on Thursday from the River, with 70 prisoners, and this morning embarked 130 more from the Le viathan hulk, for New South Wales. The whole of the outward-bound vessels got undcr weigh from the Motherbank on Wednesday, and proceeded, with a fine wind at N. E., for their several destinations. The New Frederick brig sailed on Wednesday, with 35' horses for the use of the British Legion, under General Evans. The cutter, General Evans, with 100 recruits for the same service, sailed this morning. PROMOTIONS. ROYAL MARINES. - Second Lieutenant Campbell John Pegus, of the Chatham division, to be First Lieutenant at the Woolwich division, vice James Thompson, promoted to the rank of Captain at this division, in the room of Captain Timpson ; Second Lieutenant A. Fleming of the Woolwich division, to the rank of First Lieutenant, at this division, vice William White, who is placed on the reserved half-pay. PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY, FEB. 4.—The Royal Tar steamer, which came in here last week for a supply of coals, is still lying off the West mud. She is bound for St. Andero, with officers, soldiers, and fifty horses, for the British Legion in Spain. The Spitfire steamer is ordered to proceed to the West Indies im mediately. She may be expected to call in here in about ten days on her way down Channel. The Tartarus steamer, Lieut. James, proceeded to Falmouth on Friday evening to take out the next Malta mail • on her passage out she was obliged to put into Cawsand Bay from the violence of the gale.

APPREHENSION OF A POACHER.—On Thursday Aaron Cane, a reputed poacher, was brought before the Bath forum Magistrates, charged by Thomas Newth, gamekeeper on Claverton Estate, with poaching. On the previous even ing he encountered the prisoner. A desperate struggle took place between the parties ; in the course of which the keeper received a severe blow between the eyes from the butt-end of the poacher's gun ; the keeper however succeeded in appre hending him, with a hen pheasant, quite warm, in his posses sion. The prisoner was fully committed for trial.—Devizes Gazette. From remarks on Street Architecture in the Architectural Magazine for February. Conducted by J. C. Loudon. Many accidents take place from the corners of the streets, instead of being curved off, being left so as to form a right angle : but we will hope, now these subjects are more consi dered, that the method of rounding the corner houses will be come general. If several streets intellect a principal one, where a greater distribution of light is required in the room, a bow window in the rotundity of every turn, on the same level with those in the front, but not to extend beyond the line of the streets of which it forms the right angle, would have the advantage of enlarging the room, and affording - A better view of the adjacent town, than could otherwise be obtAined. We often see the uniformity of architecture in a street dezttroyed by the various shapes of the roofs; and by the necessity or length ening the chimneys of the houses at the corners, in order to prevent smoky rooms. Curved, or Mansard, roofs are best adapted for such occasions ; and they have an advantage over , the common roofs, as less expense is incurred in their construe- 1 tion, owing to the reduced quantity of brickwork ; but all the rLipoopfsed. Thecouldbe effect, easil which was d ymadeof onedesc e r s i t p ro ti y o e n d , ebityherracisuinrvg theedor chimney shafts at the extremities of the streets, could be preserved, in a great measure, by having them of the same height as the rest, with a thin metal cap permanently affixed on the top, to prevent the downward blasts of wind, which often occur in such situations, and render the rooms smoky. In applying such a cap, 'there would be no occasion for a chimney-pot ; and, when the flues were carried up the neces sary height, the upper surface should be splayed off, so that when eddies of wind, in a steady horizontal direction, acted upon them, they would be obstructed, and rise to-mix in the air again. IRELAND. CLONMSL ELECTION.-Mr. Stephen Rice, son of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, has declined to contest the representa tion of Clonmel. Under these circumstances it is, we under stand, the intention of the electors to call upon Mr. Nicholas Ball, one of the most eminent practitioners in our Courts, to offer himself to the constituency. LORD MULGRAVE.-One of the most respectable requisi tions we have ever perused—signed by two Peers, a consider able number of Deputy Lieutenants, and an imposing array of Magistrates, including Lords Lismore and Dunally, Mr. O'Brien, of Blathervqck Park, Mr. Bagwell, of Marlfield, formerly candidate from Clonmel, the Pritties, Mahers, Scul lys, D'Altons,,Rialds—in fact, the great majority of the ex tensive landed proprietors and freeholders, has been presented to Lord Ossory, calling upon him to convene a County Meet ing to address 'the Lord Lieutenant. We have learned' that this ci-devant Whig—what a foul stain upon the escutcheon of the Butlers of Ormond—has not only declined to convene his bailiwick, but has been so indiscreet as to manifest his new born zeal for Toryism, by writing an undignified letter to the County. The meeting has been, of course, convened by the requisitionists. It will take place at Cashel.—Dublin Post. WRIT OF REBELLION. —There is in the Mail of last night a tissue of rigmarolery mixed up with the most nauseous cant that ever issued from the pen or the lips of a transparent Tartuffe, on the subject of the late decision of the Court of Exchequer—which rigmarolery, however, contains the most flagrant libel against that honourable and upright tribunal, as well as against the Government of the country. —Dublin Post. Admiral Pakenham is dead. An express has been for warded to his son, Colonel Conolly, M.P., now in London, to return immediately. ABOLITION or TITIIES.—The Barony of Middlethird has unanimously resolved on meeting to petition for the total ex tinction of tithes. On Monday, the Ist February, there was a great meeting of the friends of liberty in Ross, called together by a requi sition• The meeting was held in the Lancasterian Free School, for the total abolition of tithes. On the night of Thursday a disgraceful outrage was com mitted on the property of the West Cork Mining Company, by a party of miscreants, who entered the slate quarries at Tracarthur, Castlehaven, pulled down some sheds, removed the four-wheeled waggons, wheelbarrows, and implements used in the works, some of which were destroyed, others thrown into the sea, and many stolen. AD VANTAGES OF STEAM. —Notwithstanding the late stormy weather, the Soho steam-ship started from Black wall on Saturday, Jan. 30, for Edinburgh, lay there two days, and arrived again at the Brunswick Wharf on Friday last, thus performing the voyage from London to Edinburgh and back in five days. • _ _ . . M. Bernet, an engineer at Lyons, has invented a machine he calls a Batayeuse, by which, with the employ ment of only one horse, the mud in the streets, squares, and highways, is collected and thrown into a cart with extraordi nary regularity, giving 100 strokes on a surface of about six yards square, and thus doing the work of 200 scavengers in the same space of time. _ _ _ The' Neapolitan ,Gazette of November 7, bas an account of the destruction of Castiglione by an earthquake, in the night of October 12. The shock was felt in Calabria Ultra and Citra. Castiglione, a commune in Cosenza, was levelled to the ground; and 100 inhabitants (the population is 1,200), met an untimely death. Many in attempting flight were seriously wounded by the falling houses. The village of Ravella, with a population of 370 persons, met a similar fate, though with only the loss of two lives, and about thirty wounded. In Leppano, a family of nine individuals were bu ried in the ruins of a fallen house. The buildings at Cosenza, the capital of the province, were much damaged, but no lives were lost. WILD SWANS.—On Monday, January the 4th, a fine flock of wild swans, twenty-eight in number, appeared at the mouth of the Tees. The open state of the weather ren dered them very difficult of approach. Mr. Lacy, however, had the good fortune to bring down one, at the distance of about 250 yards ; one slug only having hit the bird.—Dum fries Courier. A novel circumstance occurred on Sunday week, in St. James's parish church at Louth. In publishinc , the banns of marriage between Mr. and Lucy Ryley, a named Moss Cohen arose and said, " I forbid the marriage in this church, and all others." The congregation were rather as tonished.—Lincoln Gazette. ATTEMPT UPON THE LIFE OF MDDLE.GRISI.— On Monday night, during the performance of the last Act of Marino Fakir°, in which Mddle. Grisi had excited universal applause, she was about to re-enter her private dressing-room to change her costume, when she perceived at its door an indi vidual who for some months past had annoyed her with his amorous declarations. On her shrieking with alarm, one of the managers came up and desired the man to withdraw. He was retiring with some indistinct apologies, when Mddle. Grisi's uncle coming up, and reproaching him with his im proper conduct. he drew a sword from his cane, and threatened the persons that surrounded him. After a struggle, in which M. Robert, Director of the Theatre, was slightly wounded in the ear a police officer arrived, and soized the man, who stated his name to be Dupuget, and his age 34. On his per son were found two pistols, with double charges, and several prints of a mystic description. He was immediately arrested. Notwithstanding her extreme emotion, Mddle. Grisi re-ap peared on the stage and sang admirably, amidst universal acclamation.—From the Paris Correspondent of the Post. The Tories are unable to get up even the semblance of opposition to Captain Dundas at Devizes. Will they talk of re-action any longer, or retract their late boast on the election of Mr. Estcourt, which was carried solely on account of local predilections? A SHARP EAR.—On Thursday evening, Lieut. Sayer, of the 80th Foot, arrived in Manchester by coach, in tending to proceed forward on Friday morning. He put up at the lush Inn, and while sitting there a band of music passed in the street. Lieutenant Sayer distinguished the sound of the serpent from the other instruments, and the style of play ing resembling that of the serpent player in his own regiment, who had deserted, it struck him that the musician in question might be the man. He therefore hastened into the street, and found his suspicions verified. He told the itinerant serpent player, whose name is William Cardwell, that he was his pri soner. The man exclaimed, " d—d if I am," and fled, but was pursued by the Lieutenant, and a watchman named Dunkerley, and captured. He was brought up at the Old Bailey on Friday, and was ordered to be sent to his regiment, which is at Chatham. Ho had deserted from his regiment before, and escaped a second time as the escort were conveying him to the depot. Dunkerley will get the reward of 205., given on the apprehension of a deserter. TIIE COTTON MANUFACTURE.—It is reported that a house at Manchester is in treaty for some property at Baptist Mills, near this city, where they intend esta blishing a cotton factory. Whether true or not, we believe that a short time only can elapse before the advantages which our neighbourhood offers for successfully prosecuting such an undertaking, will be brought into operation.— Bristol Mercury. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ENGLAND AND BELFAST. —Among the advantages to be derived from a system of contract for carrying the mails between England and Ireland, this town will have that of a daily intercourse and mail delivery with Liverpool. Captain Evans and Mr. Gardner, of the commission of Post-office inquiry, have been pursuing this subject in Liverpool, a ft er h av i ng so success fully brought their labours to an issue at Holyhead. The expense of the Post-office packets from Holyhead and Liverpool to Dublin is excessive, and this expense, it would appear, may be saved. The Dublin , Company have been applied to, and will, it is said, undertake the conveying a mail daily to Dublin and Belfast. They are preparing to have a daily intercourse between Liverpool and this town, which will be of great service to the entire North of Ire land, as the public may then calculate on having a steamer daily to Liverpool. Vessels of the largest class are now constructing for the purpose.—Belfast Whig. EIATTON-GARDEN. Edward Streath was charged as follows :—A policeman met the defendant in a state of intoxication, and habited in a soldier's coat, hat, bayonet, &c., of the possession of which he gave such a singular account, that he took him to the station. The defendant informed the Magistrate that he was formerly a cimper at Manchester, but becoming reduced he came to London to seek employment. On the previous day he entered a public-house in Holborn, and there met two soldiers of the Scotch FusPeer Guards. Their con versation pleased him, and he had something to drink with them, but, being unaccustomed to ardent spirits, it affected him, acid while rather drowsy he was persuaded by one of them to change clothes, the soldier, he recollected, pretend ing a wish merely . to try on his apparel to see if they were not of a size. They then left him habited as a soldier, and he had not seen them since. A corporal of the above regiment said that the soldier to whom the clothes belonged was absent from his quarters without leave, and dere was no accounting for his con duct. He bad been unable to find out who the other soldier was. Mr. Laing said it was an extraordinary case, and he hardly knew how to act. Mr. Moles, one of the clerks, observed that the defendant was liable to punishment under the Mutiny Act for having a soldier's uniform in his possession. Mr. Laing said he could not think of taking such a step as that. If any one deserved punishment it was the soldier who had robbed the ,defendant of his apparel. He did not see that blame was to be attached to the defendant, who he must order to hand over to the corporal the regimentals. Mr. Laing asked if he were going to continue in town ? He replied, that as he had only a few shillings left, he had made up his mind to walk to Manchester, and become dependent on his friends. If he remained in London he felt convinced it would be to starve. Mr. LAING said that, under these circumstances, he would purchase the defendant another coat, waistcoat, and hat, and he ordered Waddington, the g-,2:01er, to take him to a tailor's and supply him -with those articles. In a short time Waddington returned with the defendan+ who had on a good blue coat, black waistcoat, and a new hat, for which he gratefully thanked Mr. Laing, who also gave him ss. to help him home. , MARYLEBONE. Mr. Matthew Wyatt, the eminent architect, attended before Mr. Shutt for the purpose of instituting an inquiry connected with the supposed wilful destruction of the bronze statue of George the Third intended to be erected in Waterloo-place, opposite the York Column. The inquiry excited great interest. The above statue having been for some time under preparation by the above celebrated artist, everything was in readiness for the casting of it on last Friday se'nnight. A man named Fuller, belonging .to the Royal foundor at Woolwich, was engaged to superin tend the casting, wlin Attended, with other workmen in the employ of Mr. Wyatt, au Saturday morning following at the foundry at Paddington. The metal was observed to run very slowly into the mou2d, which was subsequently discovered to have arisen from 5 . ,9 me persons having wilfully as it is supposed, placed charcoal into the conducting pipes, or " receiv e rs," as they are termed. The cast was conse quently found to be a complete failure. The damage done is estimated by Mr. Wyatt at 1,000/., who will likewise be liable to pay 4,0001. in addition as a fine, he having engaged that the statue should be erected in its place on the 4th of June next, being the above King's birth day, which will now be impossible. Suspicion having fallen on a Frenchman, named -, the principal founder, and other persens con nected with the casting, they were severally called ID and underwent a very long and minute examination ; but though they all agreed in opinion that the stoppage was not accidental, but wilful, nothing was elicited to fix the of fence upon any one, and they were all accordingly disnissexl for the present.

A geological discovery was recently made in the coal strata at Dalmarnock, at the depth of 500 feet under the surface. It was an insect, a species of fly, petrified si multaneously with a stem of one of the plants of the coal formation, the calamites dubiza, to which it is attached. This is the first discovery of an individual of the insect tribe in the early formations. Accounts have been received of the death of the Earl of Stair, at Paris.
